Liam's Birthday Celebration on Vacation

Liam turned two a few weeks ago, but we celebrated with my family on vacation.  He had an ice cream cake from Publix.  (Forgive the bad picture.)

We added the "2" candle to it, but sadly had no way to light it.  Why oh why does none of us have a secret smoking habit?  So we sang, and pretended to blow out his candle, which probably made Liam think twice about the oddity of his family. 
But he recovered and really enjoyed the cake, in particular the Nilla wafer decorating the top.

Beach toys!  Those came in pretty handy.

Fun shorts!

I was inexplicably really excited about this shirt that Aunt Heidi gave Liam.  Hey, it was a cool shirt that was one of those with the sunscreen built in and that you can wear in the water, but I'm not sure that Liam was anywhere near as excited as I appear to be.

A favorite gift?  Little Steeler footballs that were meant to go in the water.  (The soccer ball from the next picture was one we brought from home.)  I sort of felt that the balls were too good for the water, though, so we throw them around the house instead.

Treasuring them once he could actually hold them.

To ensure a little less jealousy at all of the attention Liam was getting, Micah got a cool Hot Wheels coloring book.  We didn't have crayons, but he treated it like a regular book and looked at all the pictures.  We're looking forward to coloring in it now that we're home.

Happy Birthday, Liam - again!!
